iTunes & App Store Scraper Apps, Podcasts, Music, Movies

App Stores & Reviews

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Searches Apple's iTunes / App Store catalog and extracts structured metadata for apps, podcasts, music, movies, TV shows, ebooks, and audiobooks. The connector queries the iTunes Search API to retrieve entity-level records containing store metadata such as titles and descriptions, developer/artist/publisher information, commercial data (pricing and currency), ratings and review counts, artwork and screenshot URLs, preview and store links, technical details (version, file size, supported languages, minimum OS), genres and content ratings, release and publication dates, episode counts and RSS feed URLs for podcasts, and music preview/album relationships. Each result preserves the original Apple record so entity-specific fields are retained alongside normalized metadata suitable for catalog analysis, discovery, ASO research, music cataloging, podcast pipelines, and lead extraction.
